This is incorrect, at least for Gmail. Above the editing box, choose
"<< Plain text," and the formatting bar magically disappears and your
message is sent in ASCII as $DEITY intended. (The prompt changes to
"Rich formatting" so you can switch back and forth as desired.) Trust
Google to play nice with FOSS, they love us.

Also incorrect. I use Evolution with Gmail securely, by turning on the
option to use SSL encryption and password authentication. The password
travels over the SSL encrypted session once it is established, QED.
